Kids who go here are willing to work harder; [those] who go here are in college to work, not to party, and that’s so true with this school. I can’t really say engineering students versus other students because there’s not other students running around here that I see and stuff. I don’t know how the engineering students at other state schools are but the kids who go here go to school to work and, the kids I see on the weekend [elsewhere] go to school to party….And then you could say that the kids who go here, their minds are logic based, and other people’s aren’t, but I don’t know.

Introduction:The need for multidisciplinary cooperation in a global economy necessitates the need tointroduce projects that increasingly engage students early in their freshman engineeringyear in college. With a dynamic market place, graduates need to be able to interacteffectively in diverse fields. One important goal of multidisciplinary design is to identifythe many solutions needed to solve a single problem while keeping in mind the manydiffering objectives of the overall project [4]. A multidisciplinary approach toengineering design is valuable in that it asks that students make certain that

desired into any two year curriculum, pre or post.Knowledge alone does little to motivate and prepare students to become true engineers,regardless of the specific field. This is an area where the two-year colleges could have atremendous impact with a clearly defined mission. At this level, they could be shaping broaderhabits of mind to prepare students to think like engineers without forcing them to select aspecialty at the beginning of their academic studies. This would be similar to other professionslike medicine, architecture, or law. The two-year engineering science programs should introducestudents to engineering principles and analysis, the engineering design process, and the variety ofengineering disciplines while covering the basic math

Itwould however be a wonderful example for a cross-disciplinary engineering project. Inits present form, it has the elements one looks for in projects: multi-disciplinary groupwork, goals setting, design, feedback, revision, milestones, decomposition, systemintegration, communication, conflict resolution, prioritization, assessment

A Ph.D. in particular is a springboard to other careers.Engineers can become doctors, politicians, journalists, entrepreneurs, the advanced degree is anenabling background. Fifth, in a perfect world, working before graduate school would under-girdan excellent graduate experience. However, to paraphrase a famous quote, grad school delayedis often grad school denied. As engineers work, they become accustomed to cash flow, and theyform entanglements that often prevent them from returning to school to further their education.Finally, graduate school is a totally different
